From TV screens to real life, we all recognize the storyline: a strong, beautiful woman gets her heart broken by the man who swears he’s “not ready for a relationship.” I used to want to write letters to that man—the one who plays boyfriend until commitment enters the room—but the truth is, he’s not the…
Homecoming season always brings up mixed feelings. It forces you to remember who you used to be. The friendships, the fallouts, the mistakes, the versions of yourself you outgrew. And it’s funny, in a sad way, how some people can hold on to a grudge or a storyline for ten, fifteen, twenty years like time…
